(smile) Well, better to spend the time, I think, than to presume incorrectly that someone wants more interaction from me than they actually do, or conversely to presume to disappear unnecessarily...
The same principle holds true with face-to-face interactions... better for me to listen and learn from feedback from mutual friends than to repetitively bother someone with, say, unwanted lunch invitations. At the cost of making most friendships and relationships into relatively high-maintenance, high-overhead undertakings for me.
